Mishi Mboko says Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho’s political fortunes have ‘doubles’ warning that his opponents will suffer a political setback should they continue frustrating him.
The Mombasa Women Representative further says Joho’s presidency in 2022 is inevitable thus ruling out DP William Ruto who has also made his intentions clear.
But Mboko on Monday ruled out Ruto’s chances adding that the DP’s political approaches would be thwarted by Joho.
“In Coast we have our lion and that is Joho. He is popular than any politician and so, whatever he says, we always work with him,” she said adding that she isn’t a sycophant.
She added: “His competitors should either work with us or prepare for political setback. He understands our people’s need and William Ruto should keep off our politics.”
Joho, a key ally of opposition leader Raila Odinga, has been at loggerheads with country’s top leadership and had his security details withdrawn early this year.
He has also organized major political rallies for his ODM party, which at times has causes confusions within the opposition team.
